Chapter 19 Setting up a stall at the market!
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly stood up, her eyes flashing with excitement, and asked, "Are you really... okay?" Lu Xiaoli nodded firmly.
Aunt Liu then asked, "Is this fruit really edible? Why do they all say it's poisonous?"
Lu Xiaoli looked puzzled and asked, "Did they touch the datura flowers under the tree when they were picking them? Those flowers are extremely poisonous."
Aunt Liu suddenly realized what was going on. She slapped her thigh and shouted excitedly, "That's right, they do eat the fruit after picking the flowers!"
Lu Xiaoli took a fruit from the basket and motioned for Aunt Liu to taste it.
However, Erni, who was standing by, suddenly dropped the fruit and cursed angrily, "You damn vixen, what kind of magic did you use to make my mother trust you so much?"
"Mom, please don't eat it, or you will die!" she advised anxiously.
Aunt Liu was unmoved. She picked up a fruit from the basket and took a bite. In an instant, the sweet aroma filled her entire mouth, and the taste was indescribable.
Seeing this, Erni shouted even more angrily, "Mom, stop eating!"
After finishing her persimmons, Aunt Liu sternly scolded her noisy daughter, "Go inside! What's wrong with you today? You're like you've eaten dynamite!"
Then, she looked at Lu Xiaoli. Her well-behaved appearance made her like him more and more, so she asked gently: "Xiaoli, do you want to go to the market? Auntie will take you."
Lu Xiaoli's eyes lit up and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Erni was not to be outdone. She raised her head and said, "I want to go too. Mother, take me with you."
Aunt Liu frowned and warned, "You can go, but don't cause trouble for me." So the three of them set out on the road to the village market together.
Along the way, Erni stared at Lu Xiaoli with hostility, as if she was the "vixen" who had stolen her mother's love.
Lu Xiaoli secretly wondered when she had offended her. She felt baffled by this sudden hostility.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a bustling market, filled with the sounds of hawkers shouting one after another.
"Come on, one adventure coin is worth ten pounds."
"Corn, one adventure coin for five pounds."
"Various seeds are sold cheaply"
These hawking calls, a mixture of ancient and modern vocabulary, made Lu Xiaoli feel both novel and confused.
She wondered in her heart, when and where was this world? Why did ancient and modern elements coexist?
Is this a fantasy world that combines Chinese and Western elements? If I hadn't studied it myself, I really wouldn't understand it.
Laizi is wheat, and millet is rice. What should I do if I want to buy them all? The problem is that I have no money, no adventure coins!
[Ding - Congratulations to the host for completing the mission in Liujia Village. The reward is 1 village token, which has been placed in the warehouse backpack.]
It's really like sending a pillow when you're sleepy. Looking at the mother and daughter in front of him, Lu Xiaoli shouted directly:
"Aunt Liu, I want to set up a stall at the market and sell some things. Why don't you go for a stroll? I'll come find you when I'm done."
Aunt Liu asked if she needed any help.
Lu Xiaoli shook his head to indicate that he could do it!
Erni pulled her mother away.
Aunt Liu hurriedly shouted: "If you have any questions, please come to me. Remember to come to my house for lunch today."
Lu Xiaoli came to a remote place, took out a backpack, and took out wild boar meat, a big watermelon and the ginseng he had dug last time from the warehouse.
I simply set up a stall and hung the village token in a conspicuous place according to the system's instructions.
Lu Xiaoli put all the goods on the stall with great effort, waiting for customers to come.
Seeing that others were shouting, Lu Xiaoli was too shy to speak and could only lower his head and wait silently.
Time passed minute by minute, but no one came to her stall.
At this moment, a gentle and slightly magnetic voice broke the silence: "How much is this?"
Lu Xiaoli looked up suddenly, only to be blinded by the glaring sunlight, and could only vaguely see a figure standing with his back to the light.
When the vision gradually became clear, an extraordinarily handsome face came into view.
She was stunned for a moment. Such a stunning person made her forget to react.
The man in front of the stall was just strolling around, but was unexpectedly attracted by a strong spiritual energy.
He turned around to ask the stall owner, and saw a woman with thick long hair and a pretty face who was sorting the goods with her head down.
The eye contact at that moment made him slightly dazed - where did he seem to have seen this woman before?
The light fragrance emanating from her body made people feel relaxed and happy, and the irritability in their bodies disappeared.
The two of them just stood there quietly, as if time had stood still.
The man couldn't help but say: "Finally found you."
The sudden voice broke the awkward atmosphere. Lu Xiaoli came back to his senses and apologized quickly:
"Um... I'm sorry, I just thought you were so beautiful that I was a little distracted."
"If you were to enter the entertainment industry, your looks would definitely rank first... Um... please forgive my recklessness."
Mo Liyuan smiled slightly when he heard this. He used to hate people praising his appearance the most, thinking that it was a word exclusive to women.
But today, hearing what the woman said did not make him feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure. He responded gently, "It's okay. I don't mind."
Mo Liyuan couldn't help but wonder why he blurted out that they'd met again. Had they met before?
Lu Xiaoli also smiled. She looked at Mo Liyuan gratefully and asked, "What did you just see, sir?"
Mo Liyuan pointed at the ginseng and asked the price. Lu Xiaoli scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Well... I haven't set the price yet. Just give whatever you like!"
Mo Liyuan couldn't help laughing at the silly look, so he said:
"Your ginseng is over a thousand years old. It's a rare find, worth about 500 adventure coins.
I'll buy everything from your stall and give you 600 adventure coins in total, okay?"
